Yesterday i had to fill diesel in my hawk.
As the usual IOC where i fill was busy with lot's of vehicles i thought of going to Shell.
Thinking that paying 6-8 Rs more doesn't matters.
But while seeing the price in the Shell, i was shocked as if i was filling petrol.
It costed 57.80/ litre .
Its 15 Rs more than Govt Psu's.
So i filled for 200/- and later made tank full at BPCL.

So how can Shell levy the same diesel for more price, though the quality remains same.

Ilango. You are in Pondi. The petrol price is Rs 6~7 less than chennai. What else you want . My heart pains when a guy rides Fz or P220 which gives 30~35 mileage. He is spending more than Rs2 for a Km. Fiesta, Punto, Logan can give 20~22 Kmpl of diesel with A/C on for the same price per km.

The Oil companies are putting pressure on Govt. to hike the prices of Petro By Rs.6. Heres what Economic Times reported.

Quote:

Chief executives of state-run oil companies have rushed to Delhi to seek Petroleum Minister Jaipal Reddy's support in raising petrol prices by 5-6 per litre after the government unexpectedly deferred a decision on raising diesel, cooking gas and kerosene rates.

Petrol prices have been deregulated, but oil firms were selling the fuel at Rs 8 less than international rates in recent months as the oil ministry had informally asked them to hold back a price hike until assembly elections ended on May 10. Senior executives of the three oil firms confirmed that petrol prices were likely to rise after the meeting with the minister. "Any hike is expected only after 24 hours," said one executive, who did not want to be named.
